1 MEANING AND BENEFITS

1.1 Meaning oHousekeeping!

Industrial housekeeping is generallyclassifed as good or bad housekeeping.For the purpose o evaluation, ranking ormarking it is urther classifed asexcellent, good, average, below average

and poor or bad housekeeping. To keepour concentration on GoodHousekeeping the title o this Chapter ispreerred in this way.

The concept o good housekeeping isemerged rom the results o badhousekeeping, which is the direct causeo many accidents. oorly maintainedplants and e!uipment, improperly storedmaterials, tools and tackles, irregular orinade!uate plant inspection, unsaeenvironment and persons not conscious o

all these are a potential cause o many

accidents. "ccident statistics explained inChapter#$ and also in subse!uent art %.&reveals this act. In art &' o Chapter#$,in conclusion o the statistical tablessome causes are highlighted to pay moreattention. (a)ority o these causes vi*.+tepping over or striking against ob)ects,handling goods or articles, use o handtools, alling on the at, pit etc., hot orcorrosive substances are because o pooror bad housekeeping. These causes o

accidents can be removed by goodhousekeeping. This indicates the basicneed o good housekeeping.

The term Good Housekeeping issometimes loosely understood as simpleoor cleaning or broom stick operation.-ut it is not so. It has a wider meaningincluding up#keeping o all industrialactivities in orderly manner to minimisethe accidents due to improper planning,placement, arrangement, handling etc.,everywhere in the industrial premises. Inshort it can be explained as a p"a#e o$

To stimulate the interest by anelement o competition, many timeshousekeeping contests are arrangedbetween di/erent departments or groupso a actory or between di/erent actorieson district or state level whereorganisations like Aational or +tate +aety

Councils take interest.Committees are ormed to inspect

participating departments.=epresentatives rom di/erentdepartments should be co#opted by thesaety.

Inspection may be limited to theperiod o contest only or it can be maderegular by making it monthly, bi#monthlyor !uarterly. The visit should beunannounced so that real picture can beseen and regularity in housekeeping maybe developed.

"n award, pri*e or incentive may begiven to the winning department Dto itsleader or to all employees o thatdepartmentE. +mall gits o attractive oruseul nature may also be given. +uchawards should be given in a unction o allemployees and by the hands o the topexecutive. +upervisors o the winningdepartment should be speciallycomplemented.

most important to get the work done.

6.1.0 E4p"o&ees Assign4en' !

It is the managementKs responsibilityto assign su7cient employees to carryout routine daily housekeeping )ob. (ostlysuch work is given on contract andcompany employees believe thathousekeeping is not their )ob. oweverwhere this )ob is assigned to companyemployees, the picture is not good atsome places. -ecause o unionism,company employees are less duty#conscious and not that much regular asthe contract workers. +uch tendency isdiverting more and more )obs to contractworkers. ousekeeping, gardening,security, transport, canteen and otherwelare activities are such )obs.

8epending on number o latrines,urinals, bathrooms, washing acilities,canteen, rest room, lunch room, medical

I su7cient manpower is not assignedlooking to the area and hours o work,good housekeeping cannot be achieved.

>conomy or shortage in manpower willresult in bad housekeeping. -ut becauseo increasing cost o manpower,compulsion o reduction in cost o production in competitive market andavailability o cleaning machine replacingmanpower, proper balance has to bemaintained in assigning employees orhousekeeping.

owever, it should be borne in mindthat dirtiness and bad housekeepingcreate health and saety problems andmay increase medical expenses,absenteeism and = problems. Thereoreemployee assignment or housekeeping

For good housekeeping the interestand co#operation o the supervisory groupis more important as it is the moreresponsible group and more close to theworking conditions and workers. "llsupervisors must provide initiative andleadership or daily attention o theworkers on cleanliness and orderliness o workplace, machine, e!uipment, tools,materials etc. in their control.

They have to carry out themanagement policy, programme andmaintenance o good housekeeping intheir areas. They should take part incompetition o housekeeping and try towin awards or that. They can contributemuch to boost up workersK morale,attitude and enthusiasm towards theirday to day checking and e/orts or goodhousekeeping. They have to obtain co#

operation rom all workers or their

The term 4ain'enan#e may bemixed with the term good housekeepingand thereore their di/erence should beunderstood.

Main'enan#e covers the work doneto keep building, plant, e!uipment andmachinery in sae and e7cient workingorder and in good repair, the upkeep o allsanitary and welare acilities and theregular painting and cleaning o walls,ceilings and fxtures.

Good Housekeeping includes day#to#day cleanliness, tidiness and goodorder in all parts o undertaking. ?oodhousekeeping is not possible without good

maintenance and vice versa. Thus bothare complementary.P$e%en'i%e 4ain'enan#e is a

scheduled or regular periodicalmaintenance o plant and machinery. Itspurpose is to prevent sudden oraccidental ailure, stoppage orbreakdown o plant and machinery.ithout waiting or breakdown or ailureperiodical oiling, greasing, tuning,changing o parts, testing and examiningkeep the machinery in e7cient working

condition, smooth running withoutexcessive noise and vibration, leakageetc and it helps to maintain goodhousekeeping. +ometime LshutdownK isplanned or such preventivemaintenance.

P$odu#'i%e 4ain'enan#e is or thepurpose o improvement in production. I speed or output is decreased, noise,vibration, out running, re)ect, breakage,leakage etc. increased, then such

maintenance is carried out to removethese losses. >ven without such losses ordisorder, modifcation is carried out toboost up or increase the production rateor to achieve desired !uality or !uantityo products.
